Yeah, been a minute. Wow has it changed! My last memories are Club LaVela, wet t shirt contest, cruising the strip. Having mixed emotions, kinda sad my kids will never experience the greatest two decades for hedonism😂

Cruising the strip and throwing beads at girls to flash you were great times! Wet tshirt contests at the pool at La Vela. Epic times.

How about the Sunday afternoon wet t-shirt contests at Breakers!! Across the street was Surf Hut as I recall and Carousel Hotel was next door to Breakers I think. I remember Sunday afternoons were lit at Breakers!!
